Chapter 4：

Tao Ti, "???"

For a moment, she wondered if there was a problem with her ears.

But the next moment, she knew that it was not her ears that had a problem, but that the second princess had a disease in her head.

Pei Lingbi coldly snorted when she saw that she was silent, "I didn't expect you to be such a prosperous and ridiculous woman. I used to say that I admired my brother, but he didn't marry. He only married the prince for one day, so I forgot what you said. If you pass."

Tao Ti's mouth twitched, just about to ask "Who is your brother", the next moment, a mess of memories flooded into his mind—

The elder brother in Pei Lingbi's mouth refers to Pei Changzhou, the third prince who was born with her mother.

About the acquaintance of the original owner and Pei Changzhou, a simple summary is the story of a girl who lacked love and was caught by a scum pua.

Originally, the original owner had accepted his fate and planned to marry to the East Palace in peace, but Pei Changzhou had been brainwashing her with pua speaking skills and manipulating her mental state.

Pei Changzhou said to the original owner, "Actually, I am pleased with you too, but the father dotes on the prince. How can I steal a woman from the prince? Blame the prince, who broke us up."

"Ati, if you marry him, you will no longer be the innocent girl in my mind. If you love me, you must remain chaste for me!"

"Didn't you say that you are willing to give everything for me? Are you willing to die for me? If you can do this for me, I will believe your intentions. Ati, go and die."

The phrase "Go to die" kept echoing in his mind, Tao Ti couldn't help clenching his fist.

What kind of **** is this Pei Changzhou? !

The original owner and the prince were engaged since they were young, and Pei Changzhou should have known that it was his future sister-in-law, and had to keep some distance. But instead of keeping his distance, he also deliberately approached. Pua's future sister-in-law, vilified the image of the prince, and instigated the original owner to commit suicide before the wedding... Among them, he was deliberate and extremely scared!

"Hey, did I speak to you, did you hear?" Pei Lingbi shouted angrily.

Tao Ti returned to his senses and looked at the second princess in front of him. She, like her brother, was not a good thing.

This Pei Lingbi has always been jealous of the original owner's appearance, so she has been bullying the original owner for a long time. Every time she sees the original owner's inferiority and defeat, she will get a sense of fascinating superiority.

This brother and sister are really poisonous.

Tao Ti said with an indifferent expression, "I am now the princess and your titular sister-in-law. You have learned the manners and etiquette from the dog's belly when you speak to me like this? If the second sister has a bad memory, I don't mind taking it. You can tell the difference in front of the empress."

Pei Lingbi's expression froze and he couldn't say anything, "You, you dare to threaten me!?"

In the past, no matter how she scolded, how fierce she was, Tao Ti could only accept it honestly, but now she dare to talk back?

Tao Ti chuckled and said leisurely, "I threaten you? If I tell the queen what your brothers and sisters have done to me, oh no, the queen is your mother, and it will inevitably be partial. Then I will tell your majesty, you think your majesty I know, what will I do?"

Sure enough, when he mentioned the emperor, Pei Lingbi was visibly panicked, but his mouth was still hardened, "You dare! If you say it, you won’t have the face to see people! Besides, it’s obviously that you are guilty of a crime, and you rush to pester my emperor brother. …"

Tao Ti glanced at her coldly.

This look was full of momentum, and the back of Pei Lingbi's spine felt a chill.

Tao Ti thought that the emperor prince was still waiting for her to pass, and no longer entangled with her, threw a word of "good for oneself" and left her sleeves.

Looking at the smoky pink back that went away, Pei Lingbi's face was green and white.

It's a hell, why this Tao Ti is like a different person. Did the poison not poison her, but make her smarter?

No, I have to quickly discuss with the emperor brother, but I can't let this woman talk nonsense outside.

—

The Palace of Qinzheng is magnificent and magnificent.

As soon as Tao Ti arrived at the door, she saw the chubby **** standing on one side holding the whisk. Seeing her coming, the **** smiled respectfully and said respectfully, "Prince concubine, please, your majesty and the prince are talking inside."

This **** should be the chief general in front of the emperor, right? Tao Ti's dark eyes moved slightly, and he asked politely, "I don't know what the father-in-law is called?"

The **** obviously didn't expect that she would take the initiative to talk to him, the smile on her face did not change, but her tone was more respectful, "Back to the princess, Li Gui, the former chief of servants."

"Manager Li is good." Tao Ti smiled and nodded, guessing right.

The hall was very empty, Tao Ti lowered his head and followed Li Gui steadily.

When she saw the queen, she was not too nervous, but now she was inexplicably nervous when she saw the emperor. Perhaps the hall was so quiet that it gave people a sense of awe.

I heard that the prince was brought up by the emperor himself, and the prince is so gentle and gentle, the emperor's personality shouldn't be bad, right?

Not long after, Li Gui stopped, "Prince Princess, here we are."

Tao Ti regained his senses in a daze, raised his eyes slightly, and saw that on the couch by the window, the emperor and the prince were sitting opposite each other, in a leisurely posture like the father and son of ordinary people.

She didn't dare to take a closer look, but walked forward with her head down, and respectfully saluted, "Daughter-in-law Tao sees your majesty, your majesty is lucky."

Emperor Zhaokang put down the teacup in his hand, looked sideways at the little girl with her legs bent, and said like a Hongzhong, "Get up."

Tao Ti let out a cry, and after standing up straight, he subconsciously looked at Prince Pei Yan.

The clear sunlight leaked from the supporting window and sprinkled on his angular face, as if coated with a layer of holy light, he smiled gently at her to signal her peace of mind.

Li Gui moved the Crescent Chair at the sign of Emperor Zhaokang and asked Tao Ti to sit on it.

Tao Ti sat down properly and raised his eyes slightly, just in time for Shang Zhaokangdi's sharp scrutiny.

Emperor Zhaokang is forty-nine years old this year, with sharp eyebrows and slender cheeks. Even though he is no longer young, he can still be seen as handsome as a young man from his correct facial features. He wears a golden crown and a rattan robe, sitting casually. Although the eyebrows are stretched, there is a kind of coercion from a superior person on the whole body, which makes people afraid to underestimate.

Tao Ti withdrew his gaze in time, looking like an obedient little daughter-in-law.

Emperor Zhaokang looked at the daughter-in-law quietly. In his opinion, the Tao family girl was not worthy of his prince, no matter her identity or appearance, not to mention that she didn't know what was good or bad, so she dared to commit suicide by poisoning.

If it weren't for Yan'er's repeated pleading, the more than 200 people in the Yongweihou Mansion should be on the way to exile now.

The emotion on Emperor Zhaokang's face was very weak, and he said solemnly, "Since you are married to Yan'er, you will take good care of his diet and daily life in the future. Don't have any trouble, otherwise..."

Not waiting for him to say anything cruel, Pei Yan called out softly, with a few requests, "Father."

Emperor Zhaokang moved his cheeks, and suppressed his dissatisfaction, his tone was slightly relaxed, "Anyway, you and Yan'er have a good time, you know?"

Tao Ti's scalp was numb by his sharp gaze, and she said dryly, "Yes, my daughter-in-law remembers your majesty's teachings, and she will definitely serve His Royal Highness diligently."

Seeing that her attitude was fairly good, Emperor Zhaokang gave a low "um" and turned to Li Gui and said, "Go, get all the meeting gifts I prepared."

Li Gui went hurriedly, and soon came out with six eunuchs, each with a heavy tray in his hand.

Gold, silver, jade, jewellery, silk and silk are dazzling.

Tao Ti hurriedly got up and thanked her, "Daughter-in-law, thank you for your reward."

Then, Emperor Zhaokang kindly told the prince to pay attention to his body.

Tao Tian sat quietly and listened. She was very clear that the emperor was telling the prince, but actually beating herself. The subtext is: if you dare to provoke my precious son, you should crane your neck and wait for death.

After half a cup of tea, Emperor Zhaokang looked at Pei Yan, "Yan'er, take your daughter-in-law to put incense to your mother. This marriage was made when your mother was alive. If she knew that you were married, it would definitely be the same. Rejoicing."

When referring to the first queen, Emperor Zhaokang's tone became particularly soft.

Pei Yan got up and bowed to Emperor Zhaokang, "Father, the minister there has retired first."

Tao Ti also hurriedly followed to salute, "Daughter-in-law also retire."

Emperor Zhaokang waved his hand, "Go, go."

When the young couple left, Emperor Zhaokang rubbed the warm cup wall, his eyebrows were a bit old, "Time flies so fast, and Yan'er has married his wife too."

When Li Gui was eight years old with Emperor Zhaokang, he had been with Emperor Zhaokang for more than 40 years.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Your Majesty, relax. The servant sees that the prince and the prince are getting along well, and Qin Tianjian has said that the prince's eight-character Wangfu, with her accompanied by the prince, the prince's health will definitely get better. ."

Emperor Zhaokang snorted, "I hope so."

He didn't expect the little woman to be of any great use. If Yan'er really didn't live to be 23 years old, he would let this woman be buried, and it would be considered dead as a company to be with Yan'er on Huangquan Road.

—

Fengyi Palace is the permanent residence of the queens of the past dynasties.

After the death of Queen Gu, Emperor Zhaokang was in deep sorrow and ordered the memorial tablet to be enshrined in Fengyi Palace. Even if the Zhou clan became the successor, he was not qualified to move into Fengyi Palace, but to live in Ganquan Palace.

Based on this alone, we can see that the two queens are lighter and heavier in the eyes of Emperor Zhaokang.

When the sedan chair stopped in front of Fengyi Palace, Tao Ti couldn't help looking up and looking at the plaque of dragons and phoenix dancing at the gate of the palace.

Pei Yan stopped beside her and whispered softly, "This is written by the emperor's royal pen."

Tao Ti was startled slightly, Pei Yan said lightly, "Go in."

The Fengyi Palace is very large and gorgeous. Even though the owner of this palace has passed away for 16 years, the inside of the palace is clean and tidy and spotless. Even the flowers and trees in front of the court are lush and lush, as if the owner of the palace has never left.

Pei Yan explained, "Emperor Father comes here to live for two days every month, so the palace people dare not slacken their efforts. They will clean up every day."

"It seems that your majesty loves the queen very much." Tao Ti said, people have been walking for so many years, and they can still remember that, perhaps to Emperor Zhaokang, Queen Gu is the white moonlight in his heart.

Love? Pei Yan's black eyes narrowed slightly, noncommittal.

Seeing that they were coming, the people from Fengyi Palace hurriedly saluted.

After a while, a fifty-year-old grandmother walked out of the hall. She was dressed in a navy blue palace dress. Seeing Pei Yan, she smiled. When she saw Tao Ti next to Pei Yan, she was a little surprised and very surprised. Quickly recovered, smiled and said, "His Royal Highness, is this the prince?"

Pei Yan nodded, and smiled gently, "Mother Lan, the father and the emperor let Gu take her to give the queen mother the incense."

Tao Ti speculated that this Mother Lan should be an old person who was waiting next to the Queen. She also had a correct attitude and said hello with a smile, "Hello, Mother Lan."

"The princess is so polite, it's really a shameless old slave." Mother Lan looked at Tao Ti up and down, and smiled. "When the master and Mrs. Yong Weihou set up this marriage, you just turned half a year old, the princess. At that time, the master still hugged you...Sixteen years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I didn't expect the princess to be so beautiful."

Speaking of this, Mother Lan was a little sighed, "If the master is still..."

Pei Yan's slender eyelashes were drooping, and he whispered, "Mother Lan,"

"Hey look at my mouth, your Royal Highness's marriage is a happy event, don't talk about that." Mother Lan hurriedly squeezed out a smile, and gave way to the side, "Your Royal Highness, Princess, you go in quickly."

As soon as you walk into the main hall, you will find the elegantly furnished mourning hall.

On the long table made of golden nanmu, two tablets were placed on the front and back.

Tao Ti looked up at Pei Yan in confusion.

Pei Yan replied as if he could read the mind, "One is the lonely mother and the other is the lonely elder brother."

Tao Ti was stunned for a moment, Pei Yan still has an older brother?

Pei Yan looked forward and said quietly, "The emperor's brother is the eldest son of the father and the queen, but he suddenly died when he was five years old. In the second year after his death, the mother gave birth to a lonely queen. ."

It turned out to be like this, Tao Ti whispered, "Your Highness's sorrow."

Pei Yan didn't speak, but took the incense from Mother Lan and divided them into three pieces for Tao Ti.

He was extremely religious when offering incense, his eyes closed and he was silent.

After standing a step, Tao Ti looked at the thin moon-white figure in front of him, and sighed in his heart: The prince is really a beautiful little pitiful.

He lost his mother at a young age, and he was weak and sick, and died soon. The only father who loved him had married a stepmother who was currently invisible, and a younger brother who wished him to die quickly, a bitter sister.

This is a good Cinderella, it's still a sick version. It's a pity that I am not a fairy godmother, nor a prince...

Tao Ti was a little frustrated. Why is she only good at cooking and not good at medicine?

After paying homage to Queen Gu and the eldest prince, the two were also ready to leave.

Just before leaving, Mother Lan suddenly summoned Tao Ti and carefully took out a beautiful carved box of huanghuali wood.

"This was left by the queen first, and it was said that her mother-in-law's kindness to her daughter-in-law after her highness married her."

"This..." Tao Ti was stunned and didn't answer immediately.

Pei Yan walked to her side and nodded at her, "You accept it."

Tao Ti took it after seeing him say so, and thanked Mother Lan.

Mother Lan's muddy eyes were puffed up, as if she was worried but she was very happy, and she personally escorted them to the door.

Just after leaving Fengyi Palace for a while, Tao Ti stopped and called out, "His Royal Highness."

"Huh?" Pei Yan also stopped and looked at her suspiciously.

Tao Ti walked up to him and stuffed the carved box into his arms, "Return it to you."

Pei Yan looked down and looked at the little girl who had just reached his chest.

She lifted up a small round face of pink and delicate tenderness, her jet-black eyes looked at him shiningly, and the bottom of her eyes was clear, like the melting snow on the top of a mountain.

"This is given to the prince concubine by the queen mother, you should accept it." Pei Yan's voice was light.

"But I, I... I am not a serious princess after all, I am really ashamed."

Pei Yan's eyebrows moved slightly, did not say anything, just opened the box.

Inside the box is a mutton fat white jade bracelet with delicate and soft jade quality, bright and warm luster. Although Tao Ti didn't understand jade jewelry, he could see that this jade bracelet was not an extraordinary product.

Just when she was seeing God, Pei Yan suddenly shook her hand.

He, he took her hand!

Tao Ti looked at Pei Yan in a daze, and his mind was also messed up.

Pei Yan's face still has a warm and moist look. He picked up the jade bracelet and moved it gently to her wrist.

This bracelet looks like it was specially made for Tao Ti, so I put it on in one go. Her wrists were already slender and white, and she put on this jade bracelet and added a touch of gentleness.

Pei Yan looked up and said, "It's just right."

Tao Ti’s cheeks were slightly hot, and he wanted to refuse, so he listened to Pei Yan’s quiet voice, “Accept it. If Gu is gone, this bracelet can only be buried with Gu in the dark, but it’s a pity. You look good on it. If you don’t like it, you can sell it in the future for some money."

He said this carelessly, but it made Tao Ti feel distressed.

She touched the jade bracelet in her hand, and looked at him with a clear gaze, with a soft voice, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will keep it safe and will not sell it."

Seeing her serious promise, Pei Yan curled her lips, the smile on her lips made him look particularly gentle, "Well, I believe you alone."
